I'm a sucker for TBS games though, and this developers pricing policy makes me want to get this even of I don't like the game.

The developer has stated in no uncertain terms that this will not be a game which sees sales. You might say BAH! But it has held true. I'm certain the reason for the sale is the release of Mercenaries. Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #14 Appletini, Jul 11, 2013 It's because you left out a space, so E: Drive became Erive. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #15 nightc1, Jul 11, 2013 It's very easy to move the library to a new drive. I have my library on a separate external 1TB drive. It's just a matter of copying the library from one drive to the other then going into settings in iTunes and changing the directory that you want to use for the appstore. Once everything is working good you can delete the files from the original drive. I have my external drive always show up as drive F: and it's nice that if I want I can just take the drive with me to another computer without issue. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #16 Greyskull, Jul 11, 2013 AS IF I could have both installed at the same time...:sniff: Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #17 Greyskull, Jul 11, 2013 I didn't get into the old lite version either; wasn't a fan of the formation aspect that seemed to be the main gameplay element. But...it's a quality TB tactical level game on ios, and they aren't that common, and I hope it grows on me. Top notch production values from an indie team too. Blah blah support indie devs etc. etc. drach Well-Known Member Jan 4, 2009 515 0 16 #18 drach, Jul 12, 2013 Exactly. All right, it's on my device - I guess I'll be giving it another whirl this coming week... sapphire_neo Well-Known Member Jan 20, 2011 3,936 0 0 #19 sapphire_neo, Jul 12, 2013 The thing about Ravenmark is that you have to approach it differently, it's not TBS as much as a tabletop war-game. All the jargon like wheeling and formations comes directly from that legacy. And then there's the we-go system of simultaneously submitting turns, you must be able to effectively predict your opponent's moves to outmaneuver him/her. Once you stop expecting normal SRPG/TBS conventions you'll start enjoying the game.

the entire game could take around 30-40 hours to complete depending on how well you play it really is a very well made game that gives you console quality game play on your ios device I could have easily have paid $60 to play it on a console Also each chapter you complete unlocks free brigades in Mercenaries
I can't recommend this enough, and this might be the only sale ever you are likely to see for this app.
